It Snowed Today
It snowed today. I made our hot chocolate just like I always do whenever it snows—rich with chocolate and topped with swirls of whipped cream. I made a cup for you and a cup for me.
I carried them to the bow window, where we always sat, watching the world soften under winter’s hush. The snowflakes

Sugar and Snowflakes
There is magic in ...
Sugar and snowflakes,
When wonder does begin
As December awakes
Where this magic comes from
Do we really need to know ...
From first bite to last crumb
O, how we enjoy it, though
These simple, pleasurable things
Dance and mix and melt ...
Upon imaginary wings ...
And with our feelings felt
Comes to us like a dream
These

Hot Chocolate
Sitting,
Alone and uninspired
Ruminating on my throne
Of the tired
Freezing,
My heater, broken and retired
In a building whose condemnation
Remains desired
Searching,
For some deeper, elaborated meaning
To a poem procrastinated
A cause for my demeaning
Sulking,
I lack muse and direction
I can only imagine the forthcoming drear
Of this poem’s lection
Drinking,
My hot chocolate keeps me company
As I mull over this poetry
And choose

Hot Chocolate Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate hot chocolate I like it sweet, at Yule time I'll drink it then take a back seat
beside the old tree where Santa I'll meet they'll be cookies galore for St Nick to eat
as he shimmies and jiggles on two booted feet and a face flushed like rubious beet
I'll be eager to

Hot Chocolate Thoughts
?
She was lost in an ice storm
But sheltered in a lovely plaid, form.
That new, thick, wool coat,
Warmed her like a castle moat.
Her Mother finally came!
She stared, melting out the car’s window
Frosted pane.
Soon to have,hot chocolate, in her favorite
steaming cup.
A desirable treat, that would warm
any girl’s heart up!

Little Boy Making Hot Chocolate
A cup of hot chocolate was all he wanted
Dropped cocoa; it flew in the air, he stood daunted

Blowing Hot Chocolate Brew-
Icee winter time
plastic strange bottle holds
a steaming hot brew
~
meandering thoughts
of hot chocolate blowing
near the marshmallows
~
man is frigid now
need something on the inside
to warm my body
~
meandering thoughts
of hot chocolate blowing
near the marshmallow

October, When the Leaves Intensify
October, when the leaves intensify -
colored explosions: orange, yellow, red,
breezes to temper summer's heat draw nigh.
There's one last month of days with lightened sky
before our Daylight Saving goes to bed;
October, when the leaves intensify.
A campsite will my kinfolk occupy,
by hot bonfire we'll sing and break the bread,
breezes to temper summer's heat draw nigh.
So many sports

An Ode To Puddles
Yay! Puddles!
Splish! Splash! Splish!
Wonderful Puddles!
You fill this rainy day with fun!
Thanks for always being there,
Right at the end of the driveway!
Although Mom might not like you,
I always will!
Because once my spashing is done,
I get hot chocolate!
Wonderful Hot Chocolate!

Hot Chocolate On a Bitter Day
Tasty hot chocolate
Marshmallows and sweets
Lots of crud at the bottom.
Dig it out; that’s where the sweetness is, fool!

At the Fire Place I Sit Came In From the Cold Now Drinking Hot Chocolate
AT THE FIRE PLACE I SIT CAME IN FROM THE COLD NOW DRINKING HOT CHOCOLATE
Fallen snow so cold
Falling on my head glistens
Then drops to my nose
Frozen breeze shakes me
Causing me to shake shiver
While all along cold
Come here give me hug
Go in sit at the fireplace
Drink hot chocolate
